Location, Value, Staff

If you are looking for a five star hotel . . . Keep looking. However, if you are looking for great service, great location, and great value . . . This is the place for you. The staff is friendly and very helpful. We arrived early . . . 9:30 in the morning and were able to get into rooms by 10 am. The rooms are big, kitchens a real money saver for a family. Furniture and decor are dated but comfortable. Walking distance to shops and Waikiki Beach. We would stay here again!

Great stay for a few days with family”

Location, free parking, hotel staff

Our stay was for four days with my parents na day much older grandma. We arrived at 9am and a room was available which they let us have for no extra charge and so thankful for that as we were all very tired after a 10hour flight. There was free parking available on the premises another bonus. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The location was very central in regards to Waikiki beach so at night everything was walking distance. Our room did not have great views but we knew that and the price we paid was very affordable. The hotel and room is not the modern but has everything you need and is clean and comfortable. There was a kitchen, tv with cable, and comfortable beds and pillows. Our room slept 6 with a pull down bed in the living room which we didn't use but if you had 6 ppl may be a bit cosy and only one bathroom. There was a bathtub as well if required. Balcony was nice and breezy. The only major con was aircon was rather noisy but during our stay we didn't really need it but it could be turned on before you slept and switched off later. We had the windows open for a breeze and cool the place down.
Very happy with the stay especially for the decent rates and location.

Location is perfect! ”

I loved the location, even though it's not right on the beach, it is on the main street and there's plenty of food options around. And free parking!! That's hard to come by in waikiki.

My room had a view of the canal, so it's pretty quiet at night and a beautiful view of the mountain. Room is clean, plenty of towels. Free lei class which I enjoyed as well. Theres laundry in the hotel as well, a nice surprise. The only thing that irked me was the safe that cost 2.5 a day, feels like nickel and diming.

Our stay was fine, basically this hotel is a bit tired but probably what you pay for is what you get in Waikiki . The room and bathroom were clean some of the paint work and kitchen cupboards were a bit scruffy. There was a pool which we didn't use but it looked very clean. The kitchen was very convenient in view of the high cost of food and especially dining out in Honolulu. The staff were helpful especially the man who did the tour bookings.

We loved the Ilima”

The large balcony overlooking the canal. The close proximity to the beach. The spacious room

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ilima - the standard studio was a lovely spacious room with full kitchen facilities, 2 comfy double beds and a large balcony overlooking the canal. Free Wi-fi was a bonus and a short walk to restaurants and beach. The price was very reasonable for Waikiki and we would return there in a heartbeat.

Clean, friendly, excellent value

Just fine. Ilima makes no claims to absolute luxury, but for the money, the location is fine, the staff great, the rooms just right for a quick overnight or for longer -- kitchen included. Have stayed before and would stay again.
Solid, real value in a milieu where value is often VERY hard to find.

fantastic hotel. will return. ”

really friendly helpful lovely staff; great location, quiet, but close to beach; spacious clean tidy rooms with full kitchen

We really enjoyed staying here. The staff were fantastic, so helpful and cool. They let us check in early, which really made a big difference to us. The free-parking is great, pretty small spots, glad we had a compact car. Amazing to get a hotel with free parking, and a kitchen, super clean and tidy, with totally awesome staff, a few blocks back from the beach like this. It is really reasonable too, which is just the icing on the cake, for me. It's not super deluxe, its simple, clean and cool. That is what I like the best. Also, having a full kitchen and being able to cook our own food is a lifesaver - I get sick of eating out all the time on holiday and love to be able to make myself what I like. I highly recommend this hotel for those who don't require ritz and glitz, just a good, solid, clean, simple, helpful, lovely hotel.

Really large rooms

I don't think I could have gotten a better place to stay for a sleep. Glad I got a good rate before all the reviews bumped the price up.
Can't comment on all as I was just there to sleep.
